In order to reduce staining we recommend that your Tea Maker is cleaned daily. WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. • Thoroughly wash the jug and all of its brewing components with warm water. Do not immerse the jug into the water. To remove any stubborn stains from your tea maker we recommend that you use a leading brand of sterilising fluid, (found in the baby aisle of supermarkets and pharmacies.) • Add 7ml of the sterilising fluid to the unit or follow the instructions on the packet, and fill to the top of glass body with cold water and leave for 30 minutes, using a plastic kitchen brush to gently agitate the stained areas if required. When using the plastic kitchen brush care must be taken around the vent dome on the element to prevent dislodging/damage. For stubborn stains it may be necessary to repeat this process 2 to 3 times. • Once complete, rinse the unit thoroughly with warm water and then run the boil cycle with clean water only & repeat 2-3 times. If there is any residual taste from the cleaning product repeat the rinsing process again. • For general cleaning wipe outer surfaces with a soft damp cloth, care must be taken when cleaning to ensure no electrical connections make contact with water.

Excessive scale can cause the appliance to switch off before boiling or reaching temperature and may damage the element invalidating the warranty. It is essential that regular descaling takes place. Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for stainless steel, glass or plastic. Alternatively use citric acid crystals (available from most pharmacies) as follows: 1 Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil, then remove the Tea Maker from the base unit and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. 2 Gradually add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the water, then leave the Tea Maker to stand.
